Hotel for Knitters

For those coming on their own or with friends, we’ve been working with The Gilmore, a supercute, brand-new boutique hotel in 12 South. We have taken the unprecedented step of reserving the entire hotel for Nash Yarn Fest.

Yes—an entire hotel just for knitters, crocheters, any—and every— kind of fiber friend.

We are doing this because: we think a hotel for knitters is what the world needs; we’ve negotiated a great rate with them for you; and 12 South is a great neighborhood to hang out in.

Reserving this entire hotel of 100 rooms required significant financial investment on our part—and we’re not making a dime on it. We’re making this bet in the interest of giving you an amazing experience at Nash Yarn Fest. The idea was too fun not to go for it!

Each room is artfully adorned and has a full kitchen, ample storage for your knitting stash, and cozy spaces throughout the hotel for knitters to sit and knit. It's like our very own mini-knitting hotel, even if just for the weekend. 

There are many room types to choose from, including multiple bedroom suites. Round up a bunch of knitter friends and pile in for the weekend! You can browse all the room types on their website here.

Since this is such a special accommodation, you won't be able to book from the Gilmore's website—it will show as sold out on the weekend, but we assure you it's not!

To book your room: email groups@avantstay.com or call (213) 306-3433. Tell them you're a Nash Yarn Fest attendee to unlock the special rate, and The Gilmore team will help you with the rest of your booking.

Here are the hours they will be availble to answer your call or email:

• Weekdays: Call, text, or email (9 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT)
• Weekends: Text or email only (9 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT)

Once a reservation is confirmed, you can email experience@avantstay.com for any stay-related questions.
